The Los Angeles Stars cut down the Montreal Saints by the score of 7-1, with the largest share of the credit going to first baseman Newt Cooper. Cooper was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 4 for the Stars. Los Angeles currently is in last place in the Continental Association at 56-79.

With Los Angeles leading 2-0 in the top of the fourth, Cooper hit a 2-run single off Montreal hurler John Grimes. It was the 90th hit of the season for Cooper and put his team ahead, 4-0.

"This kind of win will certainly make our fans happy," Cooper told the Los Angeles Daily News.
